It is highly important that the
friends and supporters of General
Nichols should keep themselves
thoroughly informed in regard to
the progress of the canvass now
going on in this State. The most
eminent leaders of the Louisiana
Democracy are in the field, Mich
oils clubs are being organized in
every parish. public meetings of
great interest are of almost daily
occurrence, and the discussion of
the various issues involved is
marked by unusual earnestness
and ability. The Picayune has
furnished its readers with an ac-
curate and comprehensive account
of this movement from its incep-
ton, and win continue to do 50 to
the close of the struggle, in order
that the public may understand
the situation perfectly, and that
General Nichols and his friends
may be fully and fairly reported
Only a daily paper has the oppor-
tunity and the facilities requisite
to an immediate and complete re-
port of the whole canvass with all
its details and in all its varying
phases. For these reasons, we

The Senatorial Outlook.

We notice in recent issue Of the
Colfax CHRONICLE, the name of Col.
Randolph, of Grant, mentioned IA
suitable man for the senatorship Of the
oath district. The CHRONICLE also
says sit is also conceded by our sister
parish Wimn, that Grant is entitled to
name the senator" Hold on, Brother
Goodwin! not 40 fast If you please,
we are not so sure Of u concession of
that character by Vim. We have
nothing against Col. Randolph, and
have no doubt but that he is y stauncll
Democrat aud good man, but just ut
this time would it be advisable to take
Col. Randolph up and run himi We
have heard it rulnorcd that b. F. Brian
will I've out again as an independent
candidate, and If SO we doubt Col.
Randolph's ability tn beat him in VIM.
Come Bro. Goodwin let's meet on
halt way ground aud shake; leetle
further up the branch please. Let us
unite and send a gentleman to the
Senate who will suit us all; one whom
Grant has already tried and found
"true as steel;" Democrat whose
private and public career is unsullied /;
one whom even the breath Of Islander
dares not approach q. man Of the
people for the people aud Democrat
to the backbone. That man is Major
H. v. Mccain, of Montgomery, La.
Now Bro. Goodwin there is me- ques-
ton about Wins concessions when it
comes to the MajOr-his ability to
carry Winn over any man in the dis
trict is undisputed, and with Grant to
back him there would be no chauce
for an independent man to slip in on
our blind side. Give us Major H. v.
Mccain, and Grant can have the
senator and welcome to him. Winn-
field Sentinel.
Our young friend of the Sentinel
plumply admits our claim fol
Grant underl the thin guise Of
naming the Nd n for us. However
we will not quarrel over the man.
ner in which the concession il
made, neither do we have wore
of fault to find with the gentleman
named. He is the peer of an.
citizen in the parish, and, not onl.
has our cordial endorsement bu
we believe would prove a mos
acceptable and popular candidate
before the people. Our mention
of Col Randolph was at the in
stance of a couple of gentlemen
from the interior of the parish
and was rot made with any vie'
of championing his claims i
preference to any other worth
citizen. They are both good an
true men, of tried Democracy, an
either of them will not only repre-
sent the sentiment and wishes q
our people, but would also refiee
credit upon the entire distric
when such men as these are sough

sincere pleasure to note the intel
lest our people are taking in th
political situation by signifyin

THE Western Union Telegraph Company
announces that there is no ground for appre-
hension that it will raise its tolls because Of
the absorption Of the Baltimore and Ohio
lines A few rates have been raised, BECAUSE
it is claimed. the cost of handling the business
was greater than the Iates charged, but it is
asserted there have been reductions made
that more than Offset such increased tolls.
Time will determine. This gigantic corpo-
ration has for years absorbed all rival lines
that have been inaugul ated, and the public
looks with wel!-grcunded suspicion upon the
power welded by the one man who is aeered-
iteG with the control of its affairs. The West

week, entailing an absolute
loss to its proprietor OF more

and continue sending the old

homes of the good people
whom it has visited for more
half a century, and to make
the paper a more complete
compendium of the happenings
Of the time than ever before.
This willrequire a large eX-
penditure of money, and we
must lGek to those who are in
debted to US upon our books
(Which were fortunately saved
from deStruction) to furnish it.
We urgently appeal to all
those who owe us to come for

Fires at Rellaife.

At about O'Clock on Thursday after
noon, the upper story Of Thomas Ault's
Touring mill at Bsllsire, near the B. &
O. depot, was discovered to be en FIRE,
evidently having started from a hot
journal or explosion of dust. The fire.
men did good work, and confined the
blaze to the top stories, although the
machinery and grain below was badly
damaged by water. About $500 bushels
of wheat were in the mill, about half of
which was saturated with water and
dirt. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, which is mostly insured.
A fire, evidently incendiary. started
in the nay at Rosser's livery stable, in
the same city, on Wednesday evening,
but was discovered in time to be carried
out, before it had time to spread.
